` struction and :arrangement of vthe laminated cores of dynamo, electric machines.` o

`The vari'ous features oi novelty which characterize my invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this s Jeciiication.

For a better understan ing of my invention, however, reference may be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which l have illustrated and described embodiments of my invention.

Of the drawings, Figure l is a side elevationwith parts broken away and in section of elevation partly broken away and in section but'ona larger scale of the machine shown in Fig', 1; Figz isafperspective view; and Fig. la plan view illustrating details of construction. e

Of the drawings, l represents the `rotating armature shaft of a directazurrent dynamo electric machine. @n the shaft l is mounted a spider which in the form shown includes collar portions 3 which surround the shaft upon which they are keyed and connecting ribs or members 4. rl`he armature core 5 of the machine, which is in the iorm of an annular mass o1n laminated material, is supported on ythe ribs 4, being clamped between end members'l 6 and '.7 which are secured to the spider. The end member 7 may advantageously be formed integral with the spider. The end member 6, however, is detachable. Bolts 8 are employed toclamp the core between the end members 6 and 7.

The core proper is divided into sections l) jbetween which Ventilating spaces .l exist.

Separatore or-spacers 1l and lZ'are employed for spacing adjacent se "tions 9 apart. Each separator l1, Which may be called Ll-shaped, hasftwo substantially radial portions and a Connecting portion, and may advantageously be formed oi' a doubled bar or strip ol sheetmetal the edges of which engage the adjacent core sections. As shown the outer free ends of each separator engage the teeth 3.3 of the core, preferably being arranged midway betweenthe conductor receiving slots le of thrl core.

in order to prevent displacement ci the separators 1l and 12in assembling or afterward, the toothed portions of one of the end lamina adjacent each ventilating space are bent to form troughs l in which the ends or the separators are received. As additional securing means a rivet or pin i6 may be passed through each separator end and through the embracing portion oi' the lamine as shown in 3, though this is not usually essential.

As shown in Fig. 2 the separators ll which I are located between adjacent ribs d of the spider project beyond the inner surfaces of the core proper into the spaces between the ribs 4t. As a result air can pass from they spaces between the ribs 4 through the spaces 10 not only through the passages between adjacent legs of adjacent separators but 'also between the legs of each separator'.

The separators l2 which are located immediately-beyond the ribs 4 are shorter than the separators l l between the ribs. In the form shown the separators l2 beyond the ribs do not extend to the inner surface ci the core proper. ln the form shown. each of these separators is formed with portions ii/ bent at right angles to the body of tin-1 separator. This results in the formation ci passages 12 by means ci' which air can pass between the legs of these shortened separators.

As shown each end member is formed near its outer periphery with a groove or recess 17 adjacent the adjacent core end. Separators, spacers or supports 1S similar to the spacers 11 or iZbut usually shorter are secured to the end laniinze of the core in the same manner as the separators il and 12 are secured to their supporting laminas. The yolies of these separators extend into the recesses or groovesY in the end member. These separators torni means -for supporting the toothed portions of the laminas at the ends of the core, thus preventing their distortion, while at the same time they do not interfere with the armature windings. Openings 19 may be lormed in the end members communicat- IOO ing with the grooves or recesses 17 through which cooling currents of air may flow thinugh the spaces at the sides of the legs of the separators 'to cool the ends of the armature conductors.

It will ofcourse be understood that the air currents flowing through the various ventilating passages` of the armature core serve not only to col the armature and its windro-ings but also the surrounding ield magnet 20 with Iit poles 21 and windings 22. lilith the construction described a very eiiective of the other.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, isr- 1. In combination, a core lamina formed with conductor receiving slots separated by material, and a spacerjgin the form ot' e teeth or projections said teeth or projections being shaped to form troughs, and separator` or spacer members entering said troughs.

. 2. in combination, a body of n1.

.ntic

nent strip or bar the ends` of which engage said body, while an intermediate portion is out er" enga ement therewith.

3. n combination, magnetic core comprising sections separated b f' spaces, and a separator or separators each in the form of a bent bar or strip the ends of which are in the space between said sections, while an intermediate portion is out of said spaces.

4. In a dynamo electric machine, a rotating spider provided with ribs extending parallel to its axis of rotation, an annular laminated core mounted on said ribs, said core being divided into sections separated by ventilating spaces, and U-,shaped spacers in said spaces the legs of which are substantially sse-grr? radial. and thevyolres oi" which extend into the spaces between the adjacent ribs.

p' 5. ln a laminated core divided into scctions separated by ventilating sp ces, span located in said spaces, each et aid spacers being formed of a strip cin sheet :metal th edges of which engage the end laminie ci t adjacent sections, each strip being doubled on itself andhaving a portion bent substan tially parallel to the end laminae to l'orni a.

assage for allowing ventilation of the spacev between the doubled portions ci said spacer.

6. In combination, a lamina; a sj separator cooperating therewith forint l strip of sheet metal, doubled 'upon itself, a portion of said strip extending at right an.n gles to the plane of the lamina, and another portion or portions distorte'd to forni a ms sage or passages through which 'the sp: f tween the doubled portions of the strip may be ventilated.

7. in a dynamo electric machine, a cire comprising an annular body of lanmi'r material divided into sections separated by spaces, and separators between adjacun Pfc tions each having two substantially radial portions inr said spaces and a connecting portion withinthe inner surface ci the een proper.

8. in. a dynamo electric machine, a core comprisin an annular body of laminated material f ivided into sections sej'iarz'tted by spaces, said body being termed with condire` tor receiving slots separati-xlbjy' teeth or pro jections, and. separators between ad actin secu tions formed of U-shaped pieces of n teeth or projections of one of the enc of each pair oi adjacent sections be to form troughs in which the ends oi shaped members are received ln witness Whereoil have hereunto se t n'iy hand this 30th day oi' August, i905.
